On today’s episode of Strata Stories, guest host Rafi Salazar sits down with Colin Rigney, PT — educator and founder of Advanced MSK Ultrasound Center — to talk about a bold (and still controversial) model that’s helping PTs fill a massive gap in primary care.

Colin’s using diagnostic ultrasound to build direct physician partnerships—and he’s not just selling tech. He’s building trust, outcomes, and a system that works.

Inside this episode:
1. Why most primary care offices are starving for MSK expertise—and how PTs can step in
2. How Colin structures physician partnerships with contracts that actually protect everyone
3. Why training > tools—and how ultrasound became a door-opener, not the whole pitch
4. The backlash from parts of the PT industry—and why Colin’s still all in on this future
5. Tactical first steps: what to say, who to approach, and how to stay compliant
